Summary
Verse 44 of Surah Hud describes Allah commanding the earth and sky to end the flood in the time of Prophet Noah, and it is not worded as a supplication. The fatwa is unsure of the verse's efficacy for floods, but states there is no wrong in supplicating by seeking blessing and intercession through Quranic verses, including this one. In terms of priority, people are encouraged to hold to supplications reported in the Quran and hadith, and to increase supplication and seeking forgiveness during calamities.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tidak salah untuk berdoa kepada Allah dengan bertawassul dan bertabarruk dengan ayat-ayat al-Quran termasuklah ayat yang dinyatakan di atas.
